Colors of the sea....

      Many months ago I won blog candy from Gina.  I am finally coloring up one of the stamps!! There were a lot of stamps in that box of blog candy!!  Check out her blog: "Makings and Musings."  She actually used a Sweet Pea Stamp today.
    This image is available at Sweet Pea Stamps.  It was designed by Ching Chou Kuik, but I could not find the name of this particular stamp. 
    This is a perfect image for the challenge over at Color Me Creative Classroom, titled  "Colors of the Sea."
    Cardstock is Tempting Turquiose and Gina K Pure Luxury White.  I embossed with the Cuttlebug and sponged with Tempting Turquoise ink. Image was colored with Copics and shaded with Pebbles chalk. I added stickles to make her scales shine.  
 Hoping you can see the bling!
                             I hope you enjoyed your visit to the "sea" today!!
Come back soon!!

I love it Cindy!! Beautiful colors and the stickles make the scales look realistic! I think this is one of my favorite ones you have done, and you know I love all your work! So pretty!

I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving too! And enjoy the time off, I hope you get in some crafting time! ;) I hope your knee is feeling better now and the shot has kicked in. Oh, that stamp set is from a company called Our Craft Lounge and the website is www.ourcraftlounge.com. That set is Tweet Winter Wishes. If you have an Archiver's by you they may have them in stock there, that's where I picked them up.

Take care my friend!

I'm back!!

             Hi everyone!  I haven't been on my blog since 2012!  I can't believe it has been that long.   So many things have changed in those 9 years!!   I just retired on Jan. 28, 2021.  Now I hope to spend more time doing fun, relaxing things.  I thought the first thing would be to try to get my blog back. It doesn't look anything like it did, and I have to figure this out. I've tried for the longest time to get on it, and it would just keep coming up to a "widget" advertisement page. (??)             So, please wish me luck and visit often.
